WHERE THEY ARE.

There is some discussion now as
to whether the men are in No. l
crosscut East or No. / crosscut
West. Patton locates them in the
East, but Dan DcQuille thinks
they would have been likely to
choose the West crosscut, where
they could have had both blower
and compressed air piue to gather
air from. Ii the men are located in
either place and bulk headed, the
dead bodies by this time must have
swollen and burst, and the stencil
would be horrible.
DeQuill thinks that the bodies
must lie where they fell. as the liv-
ing would not have the strength to
put them outside the bulkhead
The men who break through the
wall will have dreadful piece of
work before them In removing the
bodies. The place will have to be
ventilated and fumipated for hours
before the bodies can be taken
out
The general impression at the
present writing is that the end is
near. and as the day wears on the
feeling of anxiety on the Comstock
increases, and all hope that the sus-
pense will soon be over.
The subscription for the relief
of the miners families will reach

The Educated Indian.

General Armstrong, of the Hamp-

Indian graduates have been sent
back to the Indian country and
they have become teachers, farmers
mechanics and clerks. Most o.
them are tickle and do not succeed

this great advantage: Ali his in

nent Indian trait. An earthquake
can not shake the respect an Indian
has for himself. Nothing can lower
it aud nothing can raise 1T. An In

tent to know that he is an Indian

disturbed.-Salt Lake Democrat.

A mule with silver throat Is the
latest thing in mules in Macon. A
valuable animal at Holman stables
was afflicted with disease similar
to laryngitis. w. G. Undertake
proposed to doctor him. He did so
and saved the mules life. Finding
that it would soon be impossible
for the animal to breathe through
his wiudpipe, a portion of the pipe
was inserted. and now the mule
hreathes freely. It was delicate
and skillful operation. 1t now re-
mains to be seen whether the mule
can winney his thanks to Mr.. Tim
berblake for saving his life.

HOPEFUL INDICATIONS.

At 9 o'clock Friday morning
blast was fired loaded with 81 giant
cartridges and when the men went
to the head of the winze no smoke
was seen. This was regarded as a
certain sign that the blast had
blown hole through at the cross
cut. but when they descended to the
bottom Of the winze they found
that there was still no connection
and only about half the cartridges
exploded.
The absence of smoke was ac-
counted for by Mr.. Patton as :ndi-
eating crevlce through which the
smoke had blown. A crevice cap
able of slowing away SO much
smoke must be very large. At 4
o'clock yesterday morning another
round of blasts were fred
and the report was a welcome sound
to the miners, whereas all previous
blasts had given out a sharp quick
report, this one had a muffied
sound indicating a thin wall be-
tween the relief drift and Curry
cross cut. Therock unusually elias
tic in character had given before
the blast.

THE DIVORCE EVIL.
The Only Practicable Way OF Securing
Uniform Legislation on This Subject.

The Only Practicable Way OF Securing
Uniform Legislation on This Subject.
As the case now stands, not only do
the grounds for divorce vary almost
with each State and Territory, but the
Logan proceedings and the effects of
DEGREES of divorce are almost equally
and hopelessly diverse. In some States
a residence of five years by the petit
toner is required; in others the period
varies from three years to ninety days,
while in few no residence at all is re-
quired if the injury complained of oc-
Cured in the State where the petition is
filed, and in one rare instance the
mere wish to become resident suffices
to give the court jurisdiction of the
case!
The effects of the decree are equally
varied. In some States it completely
dissolves the marriage contract and
leaves the man and the woman in the
same status which they occupied before
marriage. In others there are diverse
restrictions of the right to marry
again. The evils of such a system are
well stated by Judge Bennett: "a hus-
band who has obtained divorce in one
State on trivial grounds, and which in
some States will be regarded as valid.
in others not, may marry again, and
with his new wife and children travel
through the United States, and in some
places his new relations will be consid-
cred legal and proper, while in others
he will be a bigamist, his new wife a
paramour and their children illegiti-
mate"
One of the many good results that
would follow the adoption of uniform
system of divorce laws and procedure
throughout the country would be the
breaking up of the swindling practices
of "divorce lawyers, who have long
been public scandal and disgrace.
The only practicable way to secure
this uniformity is through Congression'
al action, and this would require an
amendment of the constitution author.
izing Congress to establish uniform
laws on the subject throughout the
United States, but little, if any, trouble
would probably be experienced in get
ting three-fourths of the States to as
sent to such an amendment.
The subject is one of so much prac
teal Importance and the evils of tn,
present system are so obvious and glar
ing that discussion of the matter should
continue until public sentiment shall
be created that will demand relief
